I don't doubt that this is an actual thing. It also sounds like a thought-terminating cliche, useful when the accused won't let you off the hook for saying something wrong, but it is too painful to admit it.

It's not mentioned specifically, but I think this very much falls into the "Accidental complexity" bucket. In the same way he describes someone choosing to use Mathematica for solving a problem - a developer choosing an obscure technology or writing poor code is just more accidental complexity.

It's because conservatives see rhetoric about "white supremacy" as a weak man argument used against them. They don't believe themselves to be white supremacists. It's kind of like centrist Democrats being annoyed when conservatives call them socialists and communists. To see this as telling on themselves in this context is a bit like McCarthy saying only a communist would deny being a communist.

I like Terry Pratchett, and Hogfather, a lot, but it's worth remembering that it's entertainment, and not philosophy.

For example, it's possible to construct the same reductionist argument about market economics (or any other conceptual discipline): the concepts have no physical existence beyond patterns of neurons and electrical signals in our minds, electrical patterns in our machines, and the ink on the pages of books we've created. Grind all of those down and there would be no trace of market economics.

And yet, the effects of market economics are all around us. So is it real or not?

If you did the grinding experiment you'd also find no trace of life left in the powder, especially not if you take it to its logical conclusion at the subatomic level.

Does that mean there is no such thing as life?

Is anyone else sad that we have adopted HTML/CSS as the universal lingua franca for describing views?

I understand why (or at least I believe I do): HTML/CSS is an inevitable part of the ecosystem because the web is an important target. A lot of devs will know at least some, and your organisation may already have loads of them because you also need to target the web. Maybe you even already have some view code written for the web platform that you want to re-use. This means that HTML/CSS gives you a head-start due to existing skillsets. It's familiar for some people and they can get going.

The problem is that it's bad. I say this as someone who comes from the outside, and isn't an expert ("barely competent" in HTML/CSS is probably accurate). Basic layout of things in a way that copes with different screen sizes/orientations is a surprisingly black art sometimes. There's a lot of history confusing the issue and three ways of doing each thing.

Coming at it fresh, it's a lot to learn to build a desktop/mobile UI. Flutter (for example) has its issues, but getting things to lay out correctly did not take a lot of learning. Once you've got the basics (3 days to a week for me, including learning Dart) things behaved predictably - it seems to take a lot of HTML/CSS knowledge before that is the case.

For voting stocks I can see it making sense that the big players who want some threshold of influence would determine the value. And, if a company could be bought out then your shares can get paid out that way.

But Google has nonvoting no-dividend shares, and I don't think they are feasibly going to get bought out without crashing first, so the price isn't from that either though. I think it really only makes sense if you think Google is going to issue dividends some day.

The company doesn't have to pay dividends in any particular time period for a share in the ownership of the company to have value. If the company grows in value then you should be able to sell shares for more than you bought them for.

It's worth reading Benjamin Graham to get a really good understanding of fundamental valuation, however the short answer is that a company is a stream of (potential) future earnings. That stream is funded by debt and equity. If you price that future earnings stream and discount it back to today, you get a sense for the net present value of the company. If you subtract the debt and the cash on hand what is left is the equity component. Theoretically this should be identical to the market cap of the company but of course there are all sorts of reasons these will diverge (investors will have different risk tolerances and will therefore assign different values to the discount factors etc).

From a management perspective, the share price is important for several reasons. Firstly for equity raises etc. Secondly some of the executives personal compensation will be tied to metrics that are in some sense linked to share price. Eg they might have a bonus that is related to return on equity. High ROE will tend to cause the price to rise. Finally if the price multiple trails peers, investors will get antsy and you could have shareholder activism etc.
What I wish I knew about email development before I started
When you own shares, you own a fraction of the company. The assets of the company partly belong to you, and if you have the voting power, you can decide to pay out some of it.

Of course, there's a philosophical argument to be made if the ownership structure is such that a dividend decision like that can never be made.

I suppose everyone is confident that if the leadership of such a company actually tried to assert that "no, your class ZZ share is actually just monopoly money, and your ownership share does not entitle you to any rights", such a claim would be struck down in court. Or cause the stock price to crash to such a degree that the class A shareholders would amend the agreement.

> (primarily in the US)

afaik _only_ in the US? or are there any countries where the socialist bogey man is used this way by countries without a working social safety net?

- Paying 20% of your paycheck to insurance = good capitalist affordable.
- Paying 4% of your paycheck to Medicare = bad communist too expensive

Americans are the most propagandized people in the world.

-- @LeftistCEO

the US agitprop machine doesn't even distinguish between communist and socialist - both terms are used interchangeably.

Bernie Sanders and how he is viewed is a great example here: his policies would have been considered moderate in socialist Europe of the 60ies/70ies (and especially in the often cited "well working" model of socialist Sweden, Denmark Norway).
This hollr idea is cool. I feel like just having your own instance of this would be enough as a product.
It works well for popular flights within Europe, but if you want to fly to bit less mainstream destination given your starting point (even something like Katowice -> Las Vegas, and back), you may end up on transfers between different airlines, or the return part of the journey may be via a different airline. Booking through Expedia, Kayak etc. is basically the only way (I know) to handle this with zero hassle.
There's some agreement what socialism isn't though.

In particular it isn't "Socialism is when the government does stuff and the more stuff it does, the more socialister it is."
The correlation with BLM high-ups and Marxism is there, however I wouldn't really bother about it because as well Marxists usually being terminally on twitter these days, they spend as much time arguing with their own than actually organising anything.

Even the hardcore socialists these days have basically graduated away from advocating for revolution, even though I think they're still wrong

While this is nice, for mobile -- and even desktop -- apps I find hybrid/electron to be a far more compelling use case. On mobile, if you're stuck in a situation where you need the full power and speed of vendor native then, if you're using Ionic Capacitor, you can spin up an Activity/UIView and code that part in Java or Kotlin for Android and Swift or Obj-C for iOS (or C++ for both if you really want to). Do everything in HTML,CSS,JS that you can and only use the heavy duty tools where absolutely necessary... and the truth is, they aren't nearly as necessary as they used to be.
Pika: An open-source colour picker app for macOS
I remember being very confused by the reaction to this when it first appeared. My initial reading was that the first line is meant to be analogical with racism, since the speaker holds an irrational prejudice against a particular biological category. When questioned on it, they refuse to explain or apologise! It took me a while to grasp the alternate reading in which the sea lion is more like a subculture, such as "gamers" or "Bernie bros" or whatever.
This shows what a can of worms removing Parler was. Telegram has lots of Bad Stuff too, so where to draw the line? I only see two ways to solve this: Open up completely for competing app stores by law or make app stores liable for what is both on the store and what is in the apps that is on the store. Of course I vote for the first solution but I'm pretty sure much of government doesn't agree.

I also have to wonder how much this is a part of a wish to try to stop the shift away from WhatsApp to other platforms that might be out of reach of Five Eye law enforcement.
Goodness, I am a software developer, I don't have a woodworking shop but I'd be able to repair pretty much anything Ikea - epoxy, pva, some sawdust for filler (or woodfiller), buy particle boards with same/similar color melamine online.

The other challenge is DDoS protection. Any controversial site is going to attract large DDoS attacks; if the big DDoS mitigation providers drop a sites that site is either effectively dead, or pushed into the arms of a sketchy "semi state sponsored" mitigation provider like DDoS-Guard.

> Most people in Europe associate socialism with things like healthcare, paid vacations, &c.

What? No they don't, at least not in Germany. Here, "socialism" is primarily associated with the Soviet Union and the GDR (East Germany).

"healthcare, paid vacations", in contrast, is not associated with any particular political system, because it's understood to be the baseline, or taken for granted. At best, it's associated with the "Sozialstaat". Note that the term "sozial" in German does not mean "socialism", but rather "caring for others"; it's an antonym to "anti-social", not to "capitalistic".
No healthcare though?

Besides there's no socialism in most or all of Europe either.

Seeing Bernie-people saying "socialism works just look at Europe" and then pointing at Switzerland for example, is not only worrying but also quite funny.

Personally, it seems if the situation is more the exact reverse.

We have pre-linguistic young-child emotional experiences: envy, distrust, trust, unfairness, etc.

And onto these we attach the ideals, "Justice" etc.

It is more that before we can cognise so abstractly, as children, we have to attach, "Santa Clause".

The question isn't whether we have been taught lies (too easy, too conspiratorial) -- but rather, the emotions we have been taught -- whether those are accurate.

This is much more precisely the problem, and so, why it is so difficult to solve

I've been in love with minimal keyboards for about a year or two now. I used to use a MiniVan Rev2 as my daily driver. Then I bought a GergoPlex on a whim and couldn't believe how amazing it was. I love the lack of weird stretches in the default key layout, and the chording engine Germ made for it is amazing and really makes it feel like I have a full-size keyboard. And being able to have the two halves exactly shoulder-width apart helps me keep a neutral position for my arms. All it's missing is tenting, but that's easy to do myself.

All in all, I highly recommend getting (or building) a split keeb.
No, they don't. Banks lend when it makes business sense, then, because of legal requirements, they search for reserves in the inter-bank system.

If the inter-bank system doesn't have spare reserves, the interest rate goes up. If the central bank doesn't want the interest rate to go up, it will add reserves to the system, independently of the quantity of deposits in the system.

For instance, the reason the interest rate is so low now in most of the world, it's not because there are a lot of deposits, but because there are a lot of reserves coming from the central banks.
OWL tools are dated. One large lib OWLAPI that is full of bugs and impractical, available only for one platform (JVM).

I don't like the science-bro movement, but I also think they might fill an important niche. The anti-science movement has too many people and too much time and too high of a (answer time / question time) gish-gallop ratio for scientists to possibly engage with. If scientists try to fight the anti-science crowd, they will lose.

Science bros, for all their faults, can trade blows on more even footing, and that's something. Perhaps even a vitally important something. Even if science bros aren't great at science proper, their contribution to societal consensus formation might be as important as the underlying science itself!
Agree. And another thing: Brett talks too much.
In what research contexts is API usage valid instead of scraping a view more similar to what people experience? If the Twitter site and API are retrospectively cleared of removed/suspended accounts with large impact, how does that affect retrospective studies?

Are there ethical implications of working with Twitter to gather data? Despite Twitter TOS, legal, IRB ok, are there informed consent issues in studying the artifacts of social media use?
Simply not true, starlink will have a real impact on research (see e.g. https://www.lsst.org/content/lsst-statement-regarding-increa... for the impact on LSST) and will make some science impossible to do. Ironically, amateur long exposure shots will be fine because amateur astronomy doesn’t rely on pixel-level brightnesses and you can easily subtract out streaks in a way that’s pleasing to the eye. Whether or not you think it’s justified, it’s not true to say this will not impact astronomy. Some science cases will be fine, others will be significantly impacted and still others will be SOL and impossible to do.

and the topmost comment IS just sophistry, e.g. "So yes, i support having moderation." and so on.

I tend to limit my use of "science denier" when an organization or its followers systematically deny scientific knowledge on multiple unrelated fronts.

the trick is that these are aspirations. they are not realities and they will never be due to being perfect ideals ("idealities"). so IMO we must acknowledge that we must always pursue them, yet never reach them.
